Thanks!
Most of the stuff I do is minimally processed, my workflow normally looks like this;
Import to capture one
LCC (Lens cast calibration and dust removal)
Colour temperature
Minor curve adjustments
Rotational/horizon correction/crop
output
I may add/subtract saturation or alter the colour balance slightly,
Most of the way I work revolves around fieldcraft - that is, knowing the weather, the location and trying to predict what the light will do - if I can line those three things up then I'll usually come away with something decent, I usually scout out locations before shooting them. For example, in the above iceberg photographs - I know that the Icebergs are only present on the beach after low tide, combined with the clear sky and the sun setting on the opposite horizon - experience tells me the sky will go pink/purple. There were about 80 photographers on the other side of the lagoon waiting for a sunset that didn't happen, whereas I was alone on that beach with the icebergs for around an hour before they all came flocking over at 100mph to wreck everything but thankfully I'd filled a card by then!
In those circumstances, if you can line all the elements up together - any old camera will take amazing photographs, it's all about being in the right place at the right time.
From a technical perspective, the above iceberg shots were pretty simple, ISO 50, F11, 1 second exposure - waiting for each wash of the waves to try and align the chunks of ice in a way that looks nice, lots of fun - I also like to listen to music, Vangelis's bladerunner theme usually puts me in the correct mood for shooting such locations
Awesome work man.
Can I ask what you are doing to achieve this? Is it just the camera? Exposure time? Or are you processing them afterwards?
